Those close to Donald Trump fear the former president “may have legit PTSD” from the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally last month.
That’s according to a Vanity Fair report published Wednesday that claimed those in Trump’s inner circle have noticed that he’s become fixated on a seven-second clip that shows the moment he nearly lost his life.
“He’s been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the head—over and over and over again,” said a Republican close to the campaign, reported Vanity Fair.
Well, they did try to kill the one person in the world that he cares about…
Load him up on mushrooms before the debate. That should help with the PTSD.
I always heard being in a fearful state before doing hallucinogenics caused a bad trip?
I’m laughing tears. Thank you!
Watching a clip of a firefighter getting murdered over and over again.
Dude is more worried about the shrapnel cut to his ear.
I mean, do you think an attempt on your life might fuck you up?
I agree It would…
Reality is more like… Someone else died.
Crowd went nuts. Ear hurt.
Secret service rushes you off stage.
Secret service tells you what happened.
Never actually experienced an actual threat.
Was not presented with fight or flight.
He just… basically heard about it and walked away with a cut.
I mean, he was present, fully. He recognized the moment and his positional within it to create one of the most iconic presidential images of all time.
So I dont know if I really agree with your framing.
Mature adults go to therapy. This is bonkers.
I mean he was bonkers before hand.
Convince me it wasn’t their own false flag. #OperationConserve
I have seen more evidence that it was a false flag than evidence supporting that he was shot in the ear.
Too bad for him that he will refuse to see a therapist or psychiatrist because he thinks it’s a sign of weakness.
I’d certainly be fucked up if it had happened to me.
Well…would you have spent the last 8 years of your life spreading views of hate and racism?
Because I think thats what got him shot at.
There is zero fucking chance he’s having an “am I the baddie?” Moment while watching this clip. He’s probably thinking how bad ass his hair looks or something about manliness blah blah.
Trump is a one trick pony.
Or he’s finally been confronted with his own mortality and its fucking with him in ways a life empty of any kind of introspection would.
Yeah I’m not giving him credit at all but there’s definitely a very real undeniable difference between talking smack and being threatened and all that and actually getting shot at, hit (even if barely) and nearly killed. Trump is an ego inflated asshole, but the sight of your own blood, especially at his age when death is already a daily thought I’m sure, can seriously fuck you up mentally.
Its funny right. If he could have just shut the fuck up and let the convention happen around him, and then not been a total fucking cunt, he probably could have coasted on that into November. He could have been a “changed man” like they were trying to set him up as and just stepped a bit back, been a bit more reserved and honestly, he would be much harder to beat.
Idk man. I have PTSD from my time in military service where I get woken up at night and have to do something. And that shit was a long ass time ago. It doesn’t really get better. I mean you can do drugs about it. Finding the company of others with a shared experience helps. But it doesn’t go away.
If this was anyone but Trump, I’d probably feel bad for him.
However, since it’s Donnie, all I can say is that I like Presidential candidates who don’t get shot.
It isn’t PTSD. It is him being upset that it didn’t get him more sympathy.
